The natural predators of acorn weevils include various species of birds, such as woodpeckers, which feed on the larvae inside the acorns. Additionally, certain parasitic wasps target acorn weevil larvae, laying their eggs in or on them, ultimately leading to the larvae's demise. Other potential predators include small mammals that may consume the acorns themselves, thereby indirectly affecting the weevil population.

How does the worm get inside the acorn?
Some worms are able to drill holes into the developing acorns to lay their larvae such as the weevil worms. From there, the larvae will hatch inside the acorn, feeding on the nutmeat for three weeks.
How long does a acorn weevil live?
Acorn weevils typically have a lifespan of about one year. After mating, females lay their eggs inside acorns, and the larvae develop within the acorn before emerging as adults. The adult weevils usually live for several months after emerging, primarily focused on reproduction before dying.
What kind of acorns does the acorn weevil prefer?
Black [Quercus kelloggii, Quercus velutina], red [Quercus rubra, Quercus falcata] and white oak [Quercus alba] trees are the sources of the acorns that the acorn weevil [Curculio glandium] prefers. That's because these acorns provide good shelter for the female weevil's eggs and good food sources for the larvae into which the eggs hatch. Once the nutmeat has been eaten and the larvae gone, these vacant acorns still have uses for other wildlife. Specifically, acorn moth caterpillars, fruit flies, and fungus gnats use the insides as temporary shelters. In fact, they all enter and exit by the holes that the acorn weevils first drill with the sharp jaws at the end of their long snouts.
